Episode 192- PTR VENT 3 MK18 Technical Discussion, the HK MK23, and Merry Christmas! (20-DEC-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.135 – PTR VENT 3 on the 5.56 MK18. This is the technical discussion of this silencer and white paper, published 13-DEC-2023. Very interesting silencer – the Purposely Induced Porosity (PIP) technology apparently has some legs! (00:07:58)

  2. Merry Christmas from the PEW Science family to you and yours. The holiday is this coming Monday – hopefully you are able to spend it with your loved ones. Rejoice! Thank you all for making this a great year. How are you going to take advantage of the holidays? Should you get a MK23? (01:00:07)
